In Usulatan, on top of the Tepeca volcano, you can find Los Pirineos owned by the producer Gilberto Baraona. It' s located on a volcanic mountain range surrounded by the cities of Berlin, Santiago de Maria and Joy. The cultivation of coffee at the farm was started in 1890. La Perla is the neighbouring farm of Los Pirineos. The coffee is seperated in to small to medium sized batches based up on different parts of the farm and coffee varietals. Los Pirineos farm was one of the pioneers in El Salvador to built its own Micro coffee Mill. The producer still experiments with processing and drying methods. In particular, this year we did a trial on soaking after the coffees were pulped and demucilaged with great success flavorwise. Then the coffee is sun dried under shade on raised beds for 3-4 weeks.
